Great Blue Heron Foraging, 7/25/16, Rt 135, Speen St, NW Pond

As I was walking on Rt 135 to Fisk Pond, I noticed a great blue heron in the pond at the northwest corner of Speen Street and Rt 135. I crossed over and made a video of the heron. It chased away other herons and then started foraging. The water in the pond was very low so the heron was able to make catch after catch of fish, frogs and tadpoles. When I passed by on my way home later that day, there was a heron there, maybe the same one (both were juveniles). When an adult flew over the pond, the heron raised its hackles, crouched and then leaped into flight. The overflying heron didn't stop at the pond and the heron I was observing flew around the pond a bit and then settled back down to hunting. This happened a couple of times while I was observing.
